LiveText on iOS 15 for iPhone will Let you Copy Text from Any Image

Many times we need to copy text from an image, but there’s no way in a smartphone to directly copy it. We need to manually look and type the text. There are different reasons on extracting the text from an image, like want details from the business card.

To such things, Apple is aware and is adding a new feature called Live Text. This feature will recognize the text in the images and will let you copy-paste it. The Live Text feature will be coming in the upcoming Apple OS update iOS 15.

Even Google has made improvements in the Google Lens for users to copy text from images. However, the Live Text feature will be released with iOS 15 in September, though the feature is already available for beta users. So, if you are a beta user, you can try out the Live Text feature.

Live Text can be used on almost any app. Let us check out how to use it to copy text from the pictures.
